This happens to me all the time too. I tend to examine labels intently or shop with a kind of intensity - before long, someone sidles up beside me to see what all the "excitement" is about. Suddenly, they too, must have double-sided scotch tape, a plastic funnel, a package of bird suet, and an odd piece of plastic that has uncertain applications.
Same thing happens if I look up into the sky. Others will stop what they are doing, drive their car into the ditch, stampede to a good vantage point and look upward. I feel kind of guilty if I'm just looking at a cloud. In the midwest you need a good reason to look up - a tornado funnel or, at least, a menacing-looking cloud.
